Discipline campaign

Discipline campaign

From Neraca

One of the biggest traffic trouble spots in Jakarta is the UKI
intersection in Cawang, East Jakarta.

For many years, bus passengers have hopped on and off
intercity buses at this intersection, thus causing immense
traffic snarls. Bus drivers preferred to circumvent the jammed
Kampung Rambutan bus terminal and the intersection was convenient
for both the drivers and the passengers, but a headache for other
drivers.

Not surprisingly, one priority of the National Discipline
Movement is tackling the inherent problem of the UKI
intersection. Bus operators and bus passengers are evidently not
happy because to go through Kampung Rambutan means lost time.

I appreciate the efforts of the officials involved in
enforcing discipline among road users. It may take one year of
sustained enforcement to stop the bedlam. Discipline collapses
when the police are no longer on the road.

It is the task of the public transportation authorities to
ensure the road to Kampung Rambutan terminal is reasonably free
of congestion so intercity buses coming from the Cikampek-Jakarta
toll road can easily enter the terminal without passing through
the UKI intersection.
